Approach:
Take the West Face Approach until you are left of SPANK THE MONKEY and BLOODGUARD. The route takes the perfect dihedral, 2 cracks left of SABER. Scramble as high as you can to start.
Route Description:
This route was first climbed in August, 1998 by Frank Sanders , solo.
Pitch 1. ( 140ft, 5.7, A3) Free climb, then aid up the corner. As height increases, the crack diminishes. The final 1/3 of the pitch is accomplished on hooks,RURPS, 'heads and a few tied-off blades. There is air to catch, but nothing to hit, really. A 3-bolt belay rewards your efforts.
Finish. Rap from the bolts or explore upwards. Additional pitches in this incredible corner await your inquiries.
Essential Gear:
Standard Aid Rack
